Well.... I have a 15 42 Lobells custom made Bateau with a broke 25 merc on her I LOVE this boat its a perfect crappie rig. cheap to run when she ran lol and fished great. I have a 18 54 Gator Trax with a 35 Mud buddy it will go ANY WHERE, mud, stumps, grass, though trees I mean any where but the wind will blow her off the water. My newest addition is a 285 XL Stratos with a 150 and I have to say I will never ever never ever not have a glass boat!!!! the wind doesn't bother it every much. You are not as tired from fighting the wind. I just love it
